The World’s Greatest Text

Have you ever been watching football on television and see a ‘JOHN 3:16’ sign as the ball goes through the air toward the uprights? The person holding the ‘JOHN 3:16’ sign knows that there is no greater message than the Gospel.

John 3:16 is the world’s greatest text! One verse gives everybody living everywhere Good News! In just one sentence, those powerful Words reveal God’s heart, mind, and will. And, right in the middle of the verse, Jesus appears! We can clearly see the gospel in the words that come before and after God’s only ‘Son.’

The words carrying us to the ‘Son’ in John 3:16 teach us about God’s response to man’s sin by dying on the cross for him in Jesus Christ. These words describe God’s heart and His grace as He reaches down from heaven through Jesus for man.

The words that carry us from the ‘Son’ teach us how man is to respond to God by believing in Jesus’ death as the payment for all his sin. These words describe God’s hope for man and the dynamics of the gospel as he reaches up by faith through Jesus for God’s great salvation.

I invite you to take the time to meditate on John 3:16. Contemplate every Word that God has for you in the world’s greatest text and trust Him as Savior if you haven’t already.

PRAY: Lord, I thank You for loving me and sending Your Son, Jesus, to redeem me. My sin separated me from You. You did not leave me in my sin. You gave Your Son, Who knew no sin, to be sin so that I might receive Your approval through Him. I am reconciled to You! I am forgiven because of what He has done! Thank You!!
